What is Floortime / D.I.R. approach for language?

September 28, 2011

Floortime or the D.I.R. (Developmental, Individual, Relationship-Based) Model is a technique that helps children learn language and social skills in a more related and logical way than traditional language therapy. Traditional language therapy typically promotes specific skills (vocabulary, grammar, etc.) that may leave a child with rote responses.

For more information, or to find a Floortime therapist in your area, please visit The Interdisciplinary Council on Developmental and Learning Disorders.
